Sensationnel Cloud 9 What Lace? HD Synthetic Lace Front Wig Glenna Review: Is It Worth It?
Meet Glenna from the Sensationnel Cloud 9 What Lace? Collection
The Sensationnel Cloud 9 What Lace? HD Synthetic Lace Front Wig – Glenna combines dramatic, layered curls with one of the most realistic lace systems in the synthetic wig market. As part of Sensationnel's popular Cloud 9 What Lace? Collection, Glenna is designed with 13" x 6" ear-to-ear HD lace, a 6-inch deep hand-tied parting space, and a pre-plucked hairline with baby hairs for an undetectable finish.
Made with premium synthetic fiber, this 24-inch style features a natural yaki texture that gives the curls fullness without looking overly shiny or artificial. The generous lace area allows you to wear a middle or side part with minimal customization, making Glenna a great option for beginners, everyday wear, protective styling, or anyone who loves big, glamorous curls.
First Impressions of Glenna
Out of the box, Glenna immediately stands out with its voluminous layered curls and soft texture. The curls have beautiful bounce and don't feel stiff, giving the wig a salon-finished look right from the package.
- Texture: Soft natural yaki texture with realistic fullness
- Shine Level: Low to medium, giving a more natural appearance
- Movement: Excellent movement with lightweight, bouncy curls
- Density: Full without feeling overly heavy
- Realism: The layered cut and textured fibers mimic relaxed or blown-out natural hair beautifully
In the review, the #613 shade looked vibrant and eye-catching, although the bright blonde tone may not suit everyone's preferences. Since the wig is synthetic, the color cannot be toned like human hair, so choosing the right shade from the beginning is important.
Lace Quality and Hairline
Cloud 9 What Lace? is known for realistic lace, and Glenna continues that reputation.
- Lace Type: HD Lace
- Hairline: Pre-plucked with natural density
- Baby Hairs: Included
- Parting Space: 13" x 6" ear-to-ear lace with a 6-inch deep hand-tied free part
- Melt & Blend Quality: Excellent after tinting or using lace spray
The HD lace blends seamlessly into the skin with very little customization. During the review, the lace tinted beautifully using lace tint, creating a realistic scalp effect.
One thing worth noting is that while the wig is advertised as a 13-inch frontal, the reviewer felt the lace fit closer to an 11-inch frontal. The lace didn't extend quite as far around the temples, leaving a small amount of natural hair visible near the sides. Fortunately, this wasn't noticeable once styled into a side part with the hair covering those areas.
Fit and Comfort
Glenna offers a comfortable cap that's designed for long wear.
- Cap Construction: 13" x 6" HD Lace Front
- Breathability: Lightweight hand-tied lace allows good airflow
- Adjustable Features: Adjustable straps with internal combs
- All-Day Comfort: Comfortable enough for daily wear without feeling bulky
Even with its generous volume, the cap remains lightweight and secure throughout the day.
Big Head Friendly?
Rating: Partially
- Stretch Level: Medium to High
- Fit Flexibility: Comfortable overall, but the lace may not extend fully to the ear area for everyone.
Based on the review, larger head sizes may notice that the frontal doesn't completely reach the sides. However, wearing the wig with a side part or leaving a small amount of natural hair out can easily disguise this.
Texture and Styling
One of Glenna's biggest strengths is how soft and manageable the fibers feel.
- Fiber Type: Premium Synthetic Fiber
- Softness: Extremely soft straight out of the package
- Movement: Lightweight with lots of natural bounce
- Tangle Level: Moderate, as expected with longer curly synthetic wigs
- Styling Ease: Very beginner-friendly and responds well to hot comb styling on the roots
The reviewer brushed the curls out immediately, creating an even fuller, glamorous look. The hair molded nicely with hairspray and a hot comb, making it easy to customize into trendy side-part and swoop styles.
Heat Styling Options
- Heat Safe: Use heat only if recommended by the manufacturer.
- Maximum Temperature: Not officially specified.
- Styling Versatility: Best worn in its original curl pattern, but the roots can be carefully molded using low heat and a hot comb when appropriate for synthetic fibers.
Most styling involves reshaping the roots and defining the part rather than changing the curl pattern.
